Dealing with uncertain technological risks
The risks posed to society from "emerging technologies" constitute a topic of intense academic and social debate. This report addresses the appraisal and regulation of these risks from a variety of angles. The three main topics discussed are: (1) the nature of emerging technology, (2) limits of past risk regulation, and (3) successes of past risk management and improved design. It is concluded that a more adaptive regulation of technological risks is needed.
